And Trump is correct in doing so.

Probably the most laudable aspect of the Trump regime is Trump's friendship with Putin, who is a strong, intelligent leader much liked by his countrymen and respected internationally.

I don't say Putin never lies (what politician doesn't?) but in comparison to the other men mention, he probably lies the least, only when necessary.

The US would be fortunate indeed if it were led by a man with the qualities of Putin.

Putin no doubt realized that Trump is a doofus, but he knows that appearing to be friendly with him is politically advantageous.

I don't think Putin would buy a used car from Trump.; November 13, 2017 at 11:15 AM

A truly independent journalist with his feet firmly grounded in the reality of neighborhoods and everyday people. -- Patrick Mazza, Progressive Populist

A truly original voice in American journalism: humorous and plain spoken and filled with common sense -- Jay Walljasper, Utne Reader

Inimitable -- Mother Jones Magazine

Sam's a cynical cat -- Marion Barry

Sam's one of the few independent voices left. The press today is either extreme or special interest or else just establishment, an extension of the corporate spirit -- Sen. Eugene McCarthy,

One of a small group of whites with whom many blacks would trust their political lives - Chuck Stone, Washingtonian.

A reputation for wit, intelligence and anger. -- Claude Lewis, Chicago Tribune

Smith is an island of reason and information in a sea of narcissistic blather. -- City Paper, Washington

Whatever the debate, the Review's sharp critiques encourage us to look out our window, notice and act upon what we see, and also to look further -- to the rest of the country and globe -- to see how the organized big world interacts with our more spontaneous small worlds. - Utne Reader
